Oh that's right, it comes from critical theory, the...oh **** let's just let wikipedia explain it:

In sociology and political philosophy, the term critical theory describes the neo-Marxist philosophy of the Frankfurt School, which was developed in Germany in the 1930s. Frankfurt theorists drew on the critical methods of Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud.
which lead to
critical race theory, a sub-branch, that explains where this whole concept of embedded systematic racism even came from:
Quote:
CRT recognizes that racism is engrained in the fabric and system of the American society. The individual racist need not exist to note that institutional racism is pervasive in the dominant culture. This is the analytical lens that CRT uses in examining existing power structures. CRT identifies that these power structures are based on white privilege and white supremacy, which perpetuates the marginalization of people of color.
Too bad there is no
science behind these concepts though, eh? I wonder if we applied them en masse what would happen to our society. I predict a bunch of self-flagellating idiots who steadily undermine their own country, family, and future in whatever way the elites tell them to because they are afraid of being called a term (invented by Leon Trotsky), and the rest with eyes open who struggle valiantly to save it.
